Dame Joan defaced

Anyone who has seen Steven Campbell's huge mural, which features the treasured Dame garlanded with a tiara of tears, her chin resting on Mount Rushmore, might suspect the Dame herself had paid the child to rip off the real pillow attached to the face.

Sadly there's no image of the portrait online - the photo above shows the artist with some of his other work. Here's a glimpse of it from the Daily Record:
